Braid Tray

A generous, low-profile tray of polished and antiqued brass and steel, the Braid by John Richard draws its quiet authority from an intricately worked metal border whose woven relief recalls the considered hand of a trained artisan. At thirty-seven inches, it commands a console or ottoman with the easy confidence of a piece that understands scale. The glass surface rests within that architectural frame like a still pool, offering both utility and a studied elegance that rewards close attention.
